Cllr Charlie Rooney, Middlesbrough’s deputy mayor and executive member for City Centre Strategy, said: “It’s great to see more and more people enjoying Orange Pip Market.

“It’s designed as an open and inclusive event with the aim of offering something for everyone so to see such high numbers is really pleasing.

“As well as being a great day out Orange Pip is also playing an important part in the local economy and I want to say thank you to everyone who makes the event run so smoothly as well as the traders and all local businesses who help make the event a highlight in so many people’s calendar.”
